NO question that dual systems are safer than single systems. However, I have driven single master systems all my life and never had an issue, and many of them were in unrestored condition. A dual system with total loss of front braking is better than no brakes, but not much better than a single system with the same failure and mechanical emergency rear brakes. I would not be afraid of a properly restored single master system with emergency braking on both rear wheels.


Thanks, but no thanks. Not on any on my vehicles! Good luck with remembering to pull that parking brake in a microsecond at highway speed locking the rear wheels throwning you into a rear skid. lol
